  1. Aaaah sh*** I wrote an long answer...take one phone call...and close the window...(don´t klick arround if you are on the phone!!!) Hi ;-) thanks for your Answer. I´ve playe a little more with Rhino, it is not that bad ;-). I think i will try one smal projekt with it. My only Problem at the Moment...My BOSS ;-). She thinks..."hey, with our current Programm (ready build Modells from many Manufacturers and some standard furnitures) you build such a kitchen in about 2 hours, so with this you do it in the same time!!!1". As I told her, it would last a few days if I had to modell every Machine or so, she didn´t believe me...(BOSSES...*sigh*). OK, after a little Time I´ve got a few Modells, but you couldn´t build, and render this in 2 hours!! (or what do you think will it last to build and render something like THIS (not mine)? I would call me advanced novice ;-)). MAX is not an alternative. Too expensive, and my Boss don´t want to rent something. Thanks Paddie PS: and NO, I can´t take the Modells of our Softwarve its an proprietary File-Format. I can only export 2D dxf :/.
  2. Thanks for your Answer. I´ve played a little more with Rhino. It is not as bad as I thought first ;-). I think I try one smal Projekt with the Demo Version. The only Problem I have now...My Boss thinks.."Hey..with our Program it takes a few hours to build this (There are Models from many Manufacturers and Standard-Furnitures and I only had to set it side by side, or change them a little...Pice of Cake...) so you can do it with Rhino in the same time. As I told her with Rhino (or LW, or any other Programm) it takes some days to build these, she wasnt that happy ;-). OK, after a few Projects I have a some Modells, but i need more than 2 hours for it. Or what do you think, someone with some knowledge in LW (I would call it advanced novice ;-)) will take to build (modell and render) something like this http://preview.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/05/19__22_55_06/cam10-001.jpg06f9c053-2c69-40bf-9362-773e9295e5c3Large.jpg ?. Max is not an alternative. It´s a cool Program, but my Boss wouldn´t spent so much money ;-). And she wouldnt rent software or something else, too. Many Thanks for your help Paddie
  3. Hi, after some Years without real CGI (only Special Program for Gastronomy-Kitchens) my Boss wants to present some Rendered Pictures to our Customers. An Architect we are working with at the moment shows Rhino to her and now she wants it ;-). I´m more familiar with LW (I worked in my sparetime a little with LW 9.6 and LWcad but sold my License). The workflow in our Projects is: We´ve got a Plan (as PDF, DXF, DWG, some times hand drawed..."Plans" ;-)), and we build our Kitchen Equipment in this Plan. Our Programm can generate 3D-Views but without any "reality" or so(Texturing is a REAL PITA!!! and if i do this work, the Renders are not as good as some quick and dirty Lightwave-Renders). Now my question: What should I buy ;-). LW + LWCad and Octane (or another Renderer) Am I able to import a 3D DWG to Lightwave (buying a Plugin is no Problem), So I don´t have to build all furniture and Machines by Hand ;-). OR Rhino with ...?? I´ve downloaded the Rhino3D Demo and tried a little, but after an hour of playing i can´t get warm with it. My thougths about this, if everyone told me, TAKE RHINO. I have to bite the bullet and learn Rhino ;-). Thanks Paddie
